I'm not good at this green tea princess

Chapter 496 Does Third Sister Think I'm Despicable?
civilized means...

Emperor Chu laughed.

That dog thief in Yongchanghou obviously knows what the truth is.

He wrote this note as a provocation.

He knew that he could no longer tell the world: Meng Ci killed himself.

That was tantamount to uncovering his hypocritical mask. You know, he had expressed his sorrow for Meng Ci's death many times in the court before.

He also personally sent condolences.

If you admit it at this time, wouldn't it be a slap in the face.

What Marquis Yongchang wrote is not about justice, he is just provoking, he is telling Chu Huang plainly: I know you are the murderer.

Do you dare to admit it?
If you dare not admit it, don't blame me for doing things in southern Xinjiang.

The hatred of killing a daughter is irreconcilable.

Marquis Yongchang wanted a satisfactory result, and many courtiers did not know the truth.

Some thought that he was making excuses, while others thought that he really wanted a result, so they suggested that Emperor Chu investigate further.

After all, fighting is a waste of people and money, and it is still internal fighting, so avoid it if you can.

Seeing this group of idiots, Chu Huang became angry, and found a reason to beat them up severely.

These people stop.

After the court, the weather was very clear, but Chu Huang's heart was full of gloom.

Now that the game has come to this point, it seems that it can't be solved.

If I really put down my old face and apologize, and admit my mistake to Marquis Yongchang, can he forgive himself and give up the military power in southern Xinjiang?
Chu Huang thinks not.

Once he made up his mind to take charge of the military power in southern Xinjiang by himself, once he tasted the taste of absolute power, would he still be willing to wear the shackles?

It's like when I first sat on the throne, I knew that although being an emperor has a heavy burden, he also has the power to kill.

He no longer has to be humiliated by anyone.

Since then, he has never wanted to come down from this emperor's throne.

He must, and is the only king in this world.

In any case, in order to show his courtiers, the Emperor of Chu asked Dali Siqing to personally intervene in the case of Meng Ci being burned to death.

The key evidence back then was all destroyed by Dark Moon.

Dali Siqing's gaze was like a torch, and even if he vaguely guessed the truth, he absolutely did not dare to tell the truth clearly in the court.

So the conclusion is still the same as before.

It was an accident.

Marquis Yongchang lost his beloved daughter and became mentally disturbed, so he thought that all this was planned by someone.

Chu Huang gritted his teeth and hated, but still wrote a sincere letter to Yongchang Hou.

Recalling the past years of the two, he said that he could understand Yongchanghou's mood, but this incident was just an accident, so don't be obsessed with it.

I believe you still have the court and the people in your heart, so don't mess around.

After Yongchang Hou scanned the letter, he tore it up on the spot, and drank a large jar of wine that night.

Meng Ci's death certainly broke his heart, but Chu Huang's methods made him even colder.

With all his sincerity and passion, he paid such an emperor by mistake in the end.

He really can't do it, and he will still be loyal to him in the future.

The Emperor Chu's letter did not receive a response, so he could only call a group of ministers to discuss countermeasures.

At this time, Shangshu Hubu came up with an idea.

There are so many soldiers in southern Xinjiang, they all need food and weapons.

From now on, the imperial court will not allocate food, grass and weapons. After a long time, they will not have enough food, clothing or warmth, and will have no combat effectiveness.

At that time, people's hearts will be scattered.

Even if there is a problem at that time, it will be easier to deal with it.

This is a sinister way, but there is no other way at the moment.

Marquis Yongchang made a mistake first, and those soldiers who followed Marquis Yongchang and lost their way should be punished as they should.

If the policy of cutting food and money is implemented, in a few months, it will be the New Year.

From being tense and overwhelmed at the beginning, to the fact that there is still no movement in Southern Xinjiang after a few months, everyone's mentality has become much more relaxed.

This is the principle of boiling frogs in warm water.

The water temperature rises slowly, you don't notice it.

After a long time, you also feel that this temperature is suitable, there is no problem.

The Emperor Chu also sent wave after wave of spies to the southern border, trying to figure out what's going on inside.

There has been no payment of money and food for so long, is there a turmoil in the army?

But the strange thing is that after these people entered the southern border, there was no more news, as if they had evaporated from the world.

The only possibility is that these people are all dead.

Regardless of the internal situation, at least Yongchanghou has done a good job in dealing with external dangers.

It was already the end of the twelfth lunar month, and all other matters were dealt with almost the same. Only the matter of Nanjiang had been lingering in the heart of Emperor Chu.

On this day, the eldest princess entered the palace.

She seldom enters the palace now, and this time it is a New Year's gift.

The Emperor of Chu left her for lunch, and when he mentioned this matter in the middle, he said sadly: "Back then, I had such a good relationship with Meng Chang, as close as brothers. I really never thought that he would betray me. Now things are stuck Here, I don’t know what to do next.”

On the face of the strategizing emperor, there was a look of bewilderment and disappointment.

The eldest princess raised her eyelids and looked at him, then lowered her head, as if she wanted to say something, and finally said: "I don't understand this, now I can only take one step at a time."

The Emperor Chu glanced at the eldest princess, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Sanjie, you used to have a good relationship with Mengchang, if you came to persuade him, the third sister has always been sharp-tongued, far better than me, maybe he will From what you said, I also don't want the people to suffer, if war really breaks out, then..."

The eldest princess put down her chopsticks and got up to salute: "Your Majesty's oral order, I will naturally obey, and I will write it when I return to the mansion later. But these years, I have not had much contact with the Marquis's mansion, and it may not be effective."

She paused, then added: "Actually, I feel that Marquis Yongchang is still waiting."

"Wait for what?"

The eldest princess said slowly: "Let's wait for the truth. Miss Meng is extremely intelligent. If it is said that she accidentally lit the candlestick and was burned like that, as a father, Marquis Yongchang may find it difficult to accept it emotionally."

Chu Huang's expression gradually became cold: "Then the third sister thinks, what is the truth?"

The eldest princess lowered her eyebrows: "I don't know, I was no longer in the palace at that time, and now I am old and my brain is not working well."

Empress Chu ground her teeth: "There is only one truth, and that is that it was indeed an accident."

The eldest princess sat down slowly again, picked up the chopsticks to eat again, and responded slowly: "Mmm!"

The third sister didn't believe it.

Not only did she not believe it, she also disliked what she did.

There was a fire in Emperor Chu's heart.

In fact, this fire has been suppressed for a long time, but at this moment, when he saw the eldest princess who was eating lightly, he couldn't help it anymore, and poured it out.

"Does Third Sister think I'm mean?"

"Third sister thinks I shouldn't use tricks, right?"

"I am for the royal family, for the children, and for the stability of the country!"
